Eight-bit Life Objects

Still-lifes | Pseudo-still-life | P2 oscillator | Constellation | Metheuselahs


The 9 eight-bit still-lifes:

8-bit still-lifes
Shil- lelagh [4] Pond [2] Long ship [4] Cigar, Mango [3] Hook w/tail [4] Very long snake [4] Long barge [3] Tub w/tail [4] Canoe, Sinking ship, Cis snake [4]


The 1 eight-bit pseudo-still-life:

8b PS
Block on block [2]


The 1 eight-bit period-2 oscillator:

8b P2
Bipole [5]


1 easily-constructable eight-bit constellation:

All arrangements of a boat and a blinker or two blocks can be made from 4 gliders, all arrangements of a tub and a block can be made from 5 gliders, and all arrangements of two tubs can be made from 6 gliders. There are many of these which can also be made from fewer gliders.
8b con.
Two blocks skewed (1,4) [2]


2 eight-bit metheuselahs:

Since metheuselahs do not repeat, they are listed under the smallest known pattern which evolves along the same sequence. Where there are more than one of these, the most common is shown. Also, the syntheses are of various patterns along this sequence, not necessarily the first generation.
8b meth
Gliders by the Dozen [3]


Other sizes: 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, 7-bit, 8-bit, 9-bit, 10-bit, 11-bit, 12-bit, 13-bit, 14-bit, 15-bit, 16-bit, 17-bit, 18-bit, 19-bit, 20-bit.
